I’m feeling the price of everything. The cost of my fast food yesterday was ridiculous. Who knows how much I’ll spend filling up my tank tomorrow. Thankfully, I still have the democratic right to complain about it, to make choices, and to vote.
At least for now.
The Russian invasion is challenging our liberties and Biden’s at the helm. He has a 40% approval rating. Starbuck’s joke about — not letting him lead a line for jello — was pretty funny. But let’s be fair. We call Biden out when he’s slow to respond; we should notice too when he does something right.
With the Russian invasion, Biden’s been spot on.
He called it.
Biden noticed the need to strengthen democracy around the world long before the invasion began.
In 2020, he advocated on behalf of stronger international alliances. During his campaign, he declared: “The next U.S. president will have to mobilize our country and our allies.” After he was elected, he reached out to world leaders with a pro-democracy summit.
Biden’s White House held The Summit for Democracy last December. His administration described the event as having “spurred dialogue and initiated concrete action toward global democratic renewal.”
